This is a valid excuse if you're saying that the writers don't have the talent to come up with new and creative storylines that don't revolve around the triangle. To boil it all down to "this is the premise of the show and nothing else can or should be explored" is a weaksauce argument to me because I think there's A LOT of potential to really make some of these underdeveloped characters more proactive in the show. I was really excited when the Originals came to town because it brought a new element to the show and I didn't feel like I was just watching a dark soap opera all the time.
The triangle is always going to exist, but I'm just saying it's the same thing happening over and over again with no interesting twists. I'm tired of it. I'm not dumbing down my expectations just because other people may think the triangle is all this show has to offer. I'll keep watching out of loyalty, but I'm kind of disappointed. And I know this opinion is probably unpopular among the base, but I don't really care.
But I have to say, he is looking so FREAKING SEXY this season, I mean I just looking him over Damon, and I'm team Damon, idk what is happening to me
